Holographic Quantum Transformer: A Generalist Neuro-Symbolic Architecture for Solving Frustrated Systems via Generative Attention

arXiv:2607.00398v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulating two-dimensional frustrated quantum matter is a grand challenge due to the sign problem and exponential Hilbert space complexity. In this work, we introduce the Holographic Quantum Transformer (HQT), a physics-inspired generative architecture that leverages global self-attention to resolve non-local entanglement patterns. We validate HQT on the square lattice $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg model. On the heavily frustrated $8 \times 8$ lattice at the quantum critical point ($J_2=0.5$), HQT reaches a ground-state energy per site ($E/N$) of $\math
